Massive Iron Ore Lease Deals Tied to Hill Properties
A report from Cleveland cites a near final agreement transferring James J Hill’s Mesaba range ore assets to United States Steel for thirty years. The deal would guarantee Great Northern Railroad freight and carriage revenue, with ore tonnage exceeding fifty years of Lake Superior production. Ore prices would rise in staged terms every two years, shaping vast potential income while deterring rivals from securing the deposits.
